MATCH THREAD " BOLTON W v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Bolton start the second half positively, Ameobi’s cross is well held by Etheridge though and he looks to get Cardiff away on the counter. The temperature has dropped here and it’s suddenly a lot darker.

Good start to the half from #CardiffCity. @jnrhoilett's powerful cross takes a touch off Bamba but drifts away from goal. (0-0)

The Frenchman is scythed down by Wheater midway inside the Bolton half. He looks in some pain but after receiving treatment looks good to continue. Liam Feeney, Lee Tomlin and Callum Paterson all warming up

He’s been throwing himself around a fair bit today, but that one looked soft. Goes into the book for an alleged barge on Pratley

Craig Noone is on here. He replaces Buckley. Gets a cracking reception from the away end, responding with an Ayatollah. Still 0-0

Noooone please don't do it to us

Halford down

He’s gone down with a suspected head injury here after a clash with Vela. He seems okay though. Meanwhile, Kenneth Zohore is warming up on the sidelines...

Nearly a moment of madness from Manga

Little and Ameobi both venture into the box. A ball in from the latter causes panic in the Cardiff box and a heavy touch nearly sees Manga put the ball in his own net.

For me Gregg Halford man of the match so far

Zohore is on here

He replaces Bogle to a terrific reception from the away end.

The ball skims off @GregHalford15's head at close range. (0-0)

20 minutes to go and its all Cardiff but don't look like scoring.

Come on city we don't deserve this

Against the run of play penalty Bolton 1-0

Looks like we’ve completely fallen apart after the first goal. 3 bookings in 4 minutes now another goal

That's us done. Big performance needed boxing day

Let down by our strike force.

Been like that most of the season. We need them to score to take the pressure off the defence but they do not look like getting anywhere near the goal before you talk about scoring.

What on earth has happened to the lads since conceding? Played dreadfully, can't control the ball and defence has been all over the place.
